6. Visit the Campus

To learn what NIC has to offer you as a student, we encourage you to schedule an
individual campus tour at www.nic.edu/admission/visit. Come see what it’s like
to walk along the shores of Lake Coeur d’Alene, eat at the Market, meet friendly
faculty and staff, and hear the cheers at a soccer game. If you can’t make it in
person, be sure to check out the campus virtually by visiting the Virtual Tour at
www.nic.edu/virtualtour.

7. Be familiar with Campus Safety, Drug and Alcohol Policies, and Emergency Procedures

North Idaho College is committed to the safety and security of its students, employees, and
visitors. In accordance with the Jeanne Clery Act, the college publishes an annual Security
and Fire Safety Report that contains information regarding NIC’s safety policies, crime and
fire statistics, and campus resources. A paper copy of the report may be obtained by
contacting Campus Security at (208) 769-3310 or visit
www.nic.edu/security.

All college employees and students have a responsibility to engage in their own safety and
security. As an institution, North Idaho College has several notification systems used during
campus emergencies. The Alertus system utilizes a series of beacons that will sound an alarm
in college buildings when activated as well as take over the screens of all networked
computers with an alert message. In addition, the Cardinal Contact system sends alert messages
via email, voicemail, and text to all contacts in the MyNIC system. Employees and students
are automatically signed up to receive Cardinal Contact alert messages. Please ensure that
you’ll receive alerts by checking your contact information in MyNIC. Log in to MyNIC and then
under the “Services” tab, click “User Account” then “Contact Information.” The phone numbers
listed as “Cell” will receive text messages via the Cardinal Contact system. The phone numbers
listed as “Business” or “Home” will receive voicemail. More lockdown and shelter in place
guidelines are available at www.nic.edu/security. There, you can also watch the emergency
preparedness video to review responses in an active shooter situation. The college will test
emergency procedures each semester with a collegewide drill.

North Idaho College is a drug- and alcohol-free education institution. The Drug-Free Schools
and Communities Act (DFSCA), as articulated in the Education Department General Administrative
Regulations (EDGAR), Part 86 requires institutions of higher education to establish policies
that address unlawful possession, use, or distribution of alcohol and illicit drugs. It also
requires the establishment of a drug and alcohol prevention program. Students, staff, and
faculty may request additional information by contacting either the Director of Student
Disability, Health, and Counseling at (208) 769-7794 or the Director of Student Development at
(208) 769-5970. You may also find additional information at
www.nic.edu/studenthealth.
